Preaching Jesus, Planting Churches

The book of Acts contains the amazing story of how the good news about Jesus started with a small band of people in Jerusalem, and in a few short years, ended up with followers of Jesus and churches in every key city in the Roman Empire. A key aspect of the story involves the missionary efforts of Saul of Tarsus, A.K.A., the Apostle Paul. Today's passage gives us a quick glimpse into the missionary ministry of Paul. He goes on three great journeys traveling from town to town to preach Jesus and plant churches. This sermon will be a little different from our normal sermons as we will share a biography of this amazing servant of Jesus, and we will look at Paul's missionary efforts around the world.
